November 16th, 2016: Looking Back

People from around the world witnessed history last week as Donald Trump won the U.S. election. The pollsters couldn’t predict such a monumental win for The Donald. The American media refused to believe the possibility of a Trump Administration, even the media in Canada predicted a sweeping win for Hillary Clinton. President-elect Donald Trump proved all of his critics wrong, as Americans voted in favour of policies such as stricter immigration controls and a shift on foreign policy and international development.

Trump has said some pretty awful things over the course of this campaign, some of which is simply unacceptable for a leader and public figure. Despite Trump’s boorish comments and brash behaviour, he deserves a chance to govern. We should try to be open-minded about his forthcoming Presidency.
